A climate-smart fertiliser that serves each farm’s needs: CCm Technologies
CCm Technologies has developed a process that turns by-products from industrial and waste processing facilities, into tailor-made fertiliser products. CCm’s products can be fine-tuned to provide the full spectrum of nutrient requirements for a particular crop and soil type. The format of the fertiliser is a slow-release pellet manufactured from feedstock derived from waste streams such as industrial carbon dioxide and fibre from food industry by-products. The unique combination of feedstock and format has the potential to significantly reduce air and water pollution, as well as divert problematic planet-warming carbon from the atmosphere to beneficial soil health-enhancing carbon sequestered in agricultural land.
